Makes me wonder since I can see you are in the Harry Potter fandom, would you have wanted a warning on The Order of the Phoenix?
Hope you don't mind someone else jumping in. Although I guess you're out of luck if you did :p
I was actually very annoyed at how much publicity the death got. I like knowing about the tone before I pick what I read/watch for the day, so I appreciate being told that this particular book might be considered darker than the others. And I certainly have experience with parents who don't want their child reading a book where *gasp* a character dies, so I understand that they were covering their bums. But I really did find that instead of enjoying the twists and turns of the book, I was instead just waiting for them to kill someone off (since I didn't know who) so that I could get on with the story.
